Endovascular Treatment

Dural Cavernous Sinus Fistulas

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 1255 Accesses

Abstract

Manual techniques of catheterization and embolization may differ from center to center and vary significantly between operators. The following descriptions are based on the author’s personal experiences gained over more than a decade performing EVT in cerebrovascular lesions. Although mainly based on subjective manual handlings and personal preferences, these accounts may be beneficial, especially for younger colleagues. As for most endovascular procedures in the treatment of cerebrovascular lesions, the embolization of DCSFs is performed under general anesthesia, preferably under supervision of an experienced neuroanesthesiologist. Transvenous catheterizations and embolizations are often lengthy procedures (2–4 h), during which the typically elderly patients would have difficulties remaining still on an angiographic table. General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is therefore widely used in most centers in the world, as it also allows for safer monitoring and easier management in cases of intraprocedural complications such as rupture and hemorrhage.
